Tigers praise two ref revolution , AFTER its first day on the job at Redfern Oval, the new two-referees system is already being applauded by rugby league's stars.
John Morris, who adopted the five-eighth role with aplomb during Sunday's trial win over South Sydney, was impressed with the dual control of Tony Archer and Ben Cummins. "I found it really positive," he said. "They came out to training a couple of weeks ago and I had my doubts about the whole thing. "But yesterday's game was really good and I didn't really notice the second ref at all, except when they changed over. One minute you're looking up and you see Tony Archer . . . the next it's Ben Cummins, and it's a bit weird. I thought they controlled the 10 really consistently. I thought it was closer to 10 metres than in past years when they had you back 13 (metres). http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html |
